Fairy tail episode 167

Ok i know fairy tail has been doing bad but episode 167 reminded me of the first episodes of the show and i think if they can make more episodes as good as 167 fairy tail could became a good anime once again. I want to hear your thoughts on episode 167 and if you feel that fairy tail is getting better however do not write about the manga because just in cause their are people who just watch the anime won't get spoilers from the manga.
